MTU Instruction
for American Meter Company Gas Meters
Step 11 – Now, firmly hand tighten the
two screws to 12 to 15 in-lb. Be careful
not to over tighten the screws. Excessive
torque may damage the MTU enclosure.
Because of this, power tools are not
recommended for this procedure.
Step 12 - Check the coupling one more
time. It should have slight play — it
should not bind or turn too freely.
Step 13 - Place the new cover over the
register so that the top label or arrow is
on top and the vent holes are on the
bottom. Align the cover with the mounting
holes on the MTU, press it into place, and
insert the #10 x 1” screws. Hand tighten
to a torque not to exceed 3-5 inch-
pounds. The gasket should be
compressed slightly.
Step 14 – Replace any anti-tamper,
safety, or security hardware onto the
plastic cover as required.
Step 15 – Once Installation is complete,
program the MTU using your Field
Programmer and the STAR Programmer
Software.
